A trash container has a collecting trough for receiving and retaining liquid and solid spillage The trough is secured to the front wall of the trash container immediately below an opening through which refuse is deposited from a trash compactor. Liquid spillage drains into the trough rather than onto the ground to create a mess. Solid spillage is caught and retained by the trough when the container is separated from the compactor. In a modified form of the invention, a barrier extends along the sides of the opening and above it to prevent liuqid from running along the front wall of the trash container when it is inverted for dumping of its contents.
